A delightful novel written about Queen Victoria from her 18th birthday and coronation to her decision to marry Prince Albert. I really enjoyed this book, wish that it could have gone on into more of her married life but it still was a satisfying story filled with a solid story line and interesting characters. The author, Daisy Goodwin, is a very talented writer who has really delved into the history surrounding Victoria and Albert. Ms. Goodwin is also the creator and writer of the new PBS/Masterpiece drama Victoria. I would highly recommend this book for lovers of historical fiction and historical romance.

Victoria by Daisy Goodwin will be available November 22, 2016 by St. Martin’s Press. An egalley of this book was made available by the publisher in exchange for a honest review.
